[Really Clark?]

Him and Barnes. See what / if we do with anything with Kennedy / Clemons

He is the foregone conclusion that he's being replaced. Corey Bell is safe and has us on some really good DB guys from the Florida area. Holecek will be an interesting one. I mean Lebby coaches the QB so Matt really is just QB coach in title. In a perfect world, we could get Kendall from TCU and let him handle that and Lebby would turn play calling over to him. He's making too much there though and his wife openly loathes Starkville. Even with Staley here she wouldn't want to be here.

A name I'd keep an eye on for DL coach is Miguel Chavis.

If Arnold shows up does Shapen and MVB leave?

I'm assuming MVB definitely does, but what about Shapen?

I'm in the Arnold camp over MVB, but its not a blowout. I guess if he is cheaper, then its a no brainer, the question is whether UGA or AU will allow him to be cheaper.

UGA is all in on Rashada. If they bring in another guy I would not expect it's someone like Arnold. They would kill their QB room. They already have Rashada and Gunner Stockton along with Ryan Puglisi.

Auburn is going to muddy things, but just based on what I've heard out of their camp their board is 1. Fifita 2. Salter 3. Moss.

That's a name that has been thrown around as well. He's been with Brett a long time though so I don't know the chances we could pull him.

Deleted... I had bad info or miseremembered

[BankerDog]

I trust what you are saying on this, but I can't see how MVB decommits from Oregon because he wants to play for Lebby at Mississippi State and then decides that he'd rather play for Hugh Freeze at Auburn. It makes no sense. Hugh is the most overrated coach in the conference. His offense is a joke, and MVB will be committing career suicide if he made that move.

Auburn signed three Maryland kids yesterday. That?s the want to from MVB to go there.

Freeze will get crucified (pun intended) if he tries to tell his fan base that after Payton Thorne, his QB for next year is our QB who was slightly over 50% passing for the season and went 0-8 in the SEC, yeah, they won't be happy.

I could see Lebby trying to get Joe Jon Finley on staff. He was the OC at Oklahoma after they fired Littrell. So he has some play calling experience.

I would like to keep Holocek. He has a good reputation as a QB coach.

I like Matt, but this is his first QB coach job. He was Heupel's asst at Mizzou and then went with Lebby to OM and Oklahoma

If we go the Joe Jon route it would probably be in an analyst role and then figure out what we're doing with Cooper.

[BigDawg81]

I?ve heard it twice from 2 different people about Houston DC is a name of interest for our DC job.

He just got hired at Texas Tech yesterday. There was no interest there though. His name was brought to one of the boards and Hadad brought it up on his show that he had seen his name on a message board. Never any type of discussions though.

What if we can get a Target in Starkville?

Hutzler is the DC so it?s a moot point.

There is an alternate scenario in which Cody may leave, Cooper slides to OL Coach, and Joe Jon is brought in for TE coach.

I?d expect Coleman to remain LB Coach and STC with a new DC named. Turner will not be renewed.

Tell me that Randy Shannon is not an option in this scenario.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Then she'd still hate it. She's lived in Waco, Boca, Houston, Tallahassee(which she hated), Fayetteville, and Ft. Worth. All of those town take a crap on Starkville.

NO. No chance.

[StarkVegasSteve]

He might be. Have to see if Mike wants to keep him on staff in Tallahassee. He is still an ace recruiter in the state of Florida.
